‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Trade Apprenticeships. Apprentice retention under Employment Bill
Summary
Wilson asked whether the Minister had accepted a proposal to let employers retain apprentices longer under the Protection of Employment Bill. The Minister said he had accepted several of Fitzgerald’s amendments, without specifying whether this proposal was among them.
Has the Minister accepted the suggestion of Deputy Fitzgerald that employers be enabled to retain apprentices for periods longer than the period specified in the Bill in order to encourage the retention of apprentices until such time as they find permanent employment?
Comment on this
This is a separate matter. I think the Deputy is referring to the Protection of Employment Bill which we were discussing yesterday.
